I fixed an Ipad 2 that fell off a truck going 60 down a highway and then left in the pouring rain for 2 days. Its a case by case kinda deal, and depends on how much patience and free time you have. Snag a digitizer replacement and pop the bugger open and SLOWLY clean with a toothbrush and isopropyl alcohol.

Its tough to say if you can get it to work again or not, its sort of a case by case deal on where the water got into and where it remains. Take it to a local shop and see if they can have a crack at it, if you do not feel ok doing it yourself.
